Chapter 10
Jessie, James and Meowth walked into the Team Rocket headquarters and walked to Giovanni.
"Boss we finally found her." James said as he held up the cage.
Giovanni laughed as he walked towards the cage and looked inside.
Haley (Manaphy) slunk towards the back of the cage.
"Finally." He said. "You had been hard to search for my old friend but I finally have you back where you belong."
Manaphy whimpered. "My…. My friends will come for me."
Giovanni looked to Jessie and James and asked. "Is this true?"
Jessie nodded. "They might be able to find this place."
Giovanni laughed. "Then let them come." He said as he placed Manaphy on a table and walked towards the shadows.
Jessie, James and Meowth followed him.
"I think that this is the place." Brock said as they walked towards a large building.
Ash and Misty nodded as they walked towards the doors.
"Let's go in and save Haley." Ash said.
They came to a dark room.
"Haley are you in here?" Ash called quietly.
"Ash, Misty, Brock is that you?" came a small voice. "You shouldn't have come here."
Ash took a step forward.
"No get out of here while you still have the chance." She said. "It's a trap."
Brock, Misty and Ash gasped together as the lights were turned on and Giovanni stepped forward with Jessie, James and Meowth behind him.
He laughed. "You really think that I'll let you take my creation."
"Why do you want her secret so badly?" Misty asked.
He shrugged. "Because if I don't then other people will take her away from me. It's best to keep her locked up in this cage where nothing will come to hurt her. Then I can use her to take over the world."
"Giovanni I challenge you to a six on six Pokémon battle." Ash said. "If I win then we get to have Manaphy. But if we lose then we walk away without her and we'll won't stand in your way."
Giovanni laughed. "Very well I accept."
